25 Weird Super Bowl Bets To Make With Your Friends

The Super Bowl is a time for many things: family, friends, food. But most of all, it is time for making reckless bets on things that are completely out of our control.

Americans will wager an estimated $4.2 billion  on various Super Bowl-related bets this year, according to the Los Angeles Times. Sure, you could bet with your friends on boring things like the point spread. But if you're going to throw your hard-earned dollars away on Super Bowl Sunday, why not betting on some truly ridiculous stuff?

Bovada , a Las Vegas sportsbook, has pulled together the odds on some truly, uh, specific and special prop bets for all of you out there who won't be content with some nachos and the game come Sunday.

By the way, if you have no idea what any of these numbers mean, that's good. You probably shouldn't be making bets in the first place. But here's an explainer if you and your friends decide to walk on the wild side.
